ok - but as far as i see it still doesn't show anything like this (i
symlinked altpdftex to your new simpdftex from P4 repository to test
this):

### This is ./altpdflatex, Version $Revision: 2.18 $
### ./latex test.tex
This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.20b-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.3)

also, what do you intend to do is user will call one of altpdf*
scripts in TeX Live 2005: show a message as discussed above and
proceed with generation, or stop and ask to use the new syntax?

Best,
